Focusing on BC's Public Education
According to Alex Hemingway's latest analysis, public funding for elementary and high school education in BC fell by
25% as a share of the province's economic pie between 2001 and 2016. BC has the second-lowest level of public
education funding in Canada – nearly $1,000 per student
below the national average.

Financial Reports presented at AGM - June 22, 2016
PAC AGM & Elections - June 22, 2016
Many thanks to those who were able to attend - it helps to have quorum as we had to vote in the 2016-17 budget. We are sitting well financially, as we are fortunate to have such an engaged and giving community. There were only a few small motions to tidy loose ends, and Tiffany Searchfield did well in "closing our books" for the year.
Tamara Shand has stepped forward to take on the Main Chair role but we are still hoping for another parent to help co-chair with her, as she is already committed to leading SPRING FLING! Carol Duffy has stepped forward to be Annex Chair and working with Tamara, they will make excellent leaders for the PAC Executive.
While some are ending their term with the PAC Exec, we hope Parents & Guardians will continue to volunteer at our schools throughout the new year where possible. If you'd like to join us in September and be voted in at our next executive meeting, do not hesitate to contact us at dickens.pac@gmail.com
